Enlightenment

Where is enlightenment?
Relief come from the very spot in which there was the pain? It’s already here.

Then, what is enlightenment?
Seeing with wisdom.

Then how does I arise wisdom?
The Arising of Wisdom=seeing the same thing you have seen everyday, with right view.

What is right view?
Right View= An insight into the true working of phenomena that leads to disassociation and final rest.

And how do I get this insight?
Mindfulness

Mindfulness of what?
Body, feeling, mental formation, and phenomena

How do I start?
Body: Know the body position all day long, reflect on food coming in and out, see the impermanence of the body, meditate on corpses, bring awareness to the body
Feeling: Pleasant, Unpleasant, Neutral, See them arising and passing, see how  external conditions mixed with internal perceptions create feelings, don’t chase pleasure and don’t evade pain
Concept: Calm the mind, know what mental qualities have arisen in the present moment, know what perceptions you hold, know your habit structures
Phenomena: See the world as changing, composed, and un-keepable.

And when do I start?
Now.
